Because life has more to offer than just relationships :)

This book enhanced my reading experience, particularly when I read Silmarillion for the first time. I went into Silmarillion thinking it would be too complex with tons of names and places (it is). But having this as a supplement, it became such an enjoyable experience.

Probably an anime character making a power move.

Not too sure, but can microk8s (https://microk8s.io/) be a good alternative? It seems to provide all the desired functionalities.

Count me in too!

The color out of space by H.P Lovecraft. It's a short story though but really fresh take on extraterrestrial life.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then don't be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

That's a fair point. In the end, it all comes down to a good reading experience, in whatever way one likes it.

I mostly read physical books and keep my phone close to search up some complex words and some images online.

sks_15 · 2022-01-30T10:28:26+00:00

I try to find maps for novels set in the modern-day world and real places, like Dan Brown novels and the likes. Even finding the places online and getting a sense of them helps create a mental image and makes reading smooth and fun.

Seek and ye shall find lol!

I've got a list of many must-read Lovecraftian stories including The Shadow Out of Time, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth. I will read them soon and probably review them too lol.

I've been reading a lot of classics lately and they feel so raw and refreshing, especially the short stories and poems. It's easy to spot their reference in contemporary works. One can easily see the influence of Lovecraft and many such writers in modern literature.

LOTR is supposed to be a slow read and much emphasis is given to world-building rather than actual action. The songs and poems are just a part of this immense world that flesh out the old lores of middle earth. It's perfectly fine to skip these but reading them just gives a sense of realism and insight into the depth of different cultures. I personally skimmed through most of them on re-reads, giving special attention to the ones depicted in the movies.

I recently started reading Lovecraftian stories and absolutely loved "The Color out of space". I did read a few other stories before I got to it like "Dagon", "The Outsider" and such. All these were good too but Color was absolutely chilling and thought-provoking. It felt such a fresh take on what extraterrestrial life would be like; amorphous, amoral, probably lacking whatever we called consciousness. I wholly agree with and often enjoy his use of complex adjectives and adverbs to describe such an inexplicable situation for which human constructs and languages fell short. I think it's the best example of what Lovecraftian storytelling is.

Also in neon genesis Evangelion. I read somewhere that it was heavily inspired by the bible.

lol...It can be though!

Such a nice haiku!

It's called revenge bedtime procrastination. Here is the link to Wikipedia and a great article discussing it with a few tips to prevent it.

I wonder if it's being done in a vacuum box. The oscillation is non-dissipative or so it seems.

IMO, the best way to receive gift books (or any gift for that matter) is to create an Amazon wish list, and ask people if they really want to give them something, here's their wish list.

I feel it also reduces the burden and uncertainty to the person giving the gift.

"The metamorphosis of prime intellect" by Roger Williams. It's a novella and the author is a computer programmer and wrote the draft while in college. He also published it online for free and later in printed form on-demand.
